I am going to personally hand out some tips on how to properly flame. Now I will admit that I've only ever been flamed once, but let me tell you that it was a sore disappointment. I was waiting for my first flame and then when it came, it was a complete flop. I've seen an awful lot of poorly executed flames here and there and I think it's about time that people start spreading the word on proper flaming before one of these idiots hurts themselves. So here are the basic rules: 1) Please have a point. I can't stress this enough people. If you think something sucks, there has to be a reason. If you have no point then there's no point in reading your review. 2) Post some literary venture of your own before you attempt a flame. Think of it as your resume. We need to see some credentials damn it! You can't just walk in off the street! How do we know if you're qualified to be making this judgment? We can't let people go around writing these things all willy-nilly. If nothing else, it's bad form not to give us something we can flame you back for. (Remember, you only get the credit for this one if you're brave enough to sign in.) 3) Check your spelling and grammar. There's nothing worse then making a bunch of grammatical errors right in the middle of telling someone else what's wrong with their writing. You lose all credibility. Yeah... You hear that?... They're laughing at you! 4) Do it with style. You've heard the saying, I'm sure. 'If a thing is worth doing it's worth doing well.' If you're actually going to take the time to cut someone down, the least you could do is get their attention. A simple 'duh... it sucks George' is not gonna cut it. Seriously. If you intend to be mean, then at least try to come off like the villain, and not like one of his nameless henchmen. (think scathing) 5) Read summary warnings. Trust me. You don't want to go ripping on people for content that you were clearly warned about. That honestly only makes you look like an idiot. Wait, what's that?... Oh, they're laughing at you again! 6) Throw in some amusing word play. When you step into the arena baby, you want to show off your skills. A truly good flame entertains the crowd. That way people don't just plain hate you outright. You want them to almost look forward to more of your acerbic wit. A couple of new rules at the request of xxUnfortunateSoulxx ; 7) NO CAPS LOCK!!! OR REPETITIVE PUNCTUATION!!!. Not only does this make you look like a spazz, but it totally removes the element of surprise. It's far too unsubtle. The author will immediately take note of what's going down and possibly not bother to read at all, and that's no fun. The best flames are sneak attacks. You want to lull your target into a false sense of security. 8) Keep the cursing to a minimum. I know you may be tempted to show off that 'vast vocabulary' of yours. But while a single curse (or creative phrase) in the right placement can accentuate a point or give a flame some interesting flavor, an over abundance of cursing will make it seem that you're trying to cover the fact that you don't actually have anything relevant to say. Remember, there is in fact a difference between enthusiasm and Tourette Syndrome. (And those people have a real problem. You shouldn't mock them like that... you animal) And last but not least 9) Think quality, not quantity. Try -as hard as you can, for the love of god- to refrain from overzealously spamming the author with mountains of inane reviews, especially for a fic that you know is already complete. You cannot automatically assume that your opinion is important enough to the author that they'll actually bother to read twenty-some-odd crappy (repetitive and/or conflicting) comments. -yawn- You have to earn that kind of importance through a demonstration of skill and intelligence. While one may be able to get away with the multiple review tactic if each review has real substance, generally one big well-executed flame at the end has much more impact. There they are. Please feel free to rip them off and post them wherever the hell you like. Don't hesitate to let me know if there's anything that you think should be added to the list as well. I may think of some more later myself. Invariably you think of more of them when you happen to see a poorly executed flame. It's a real problem and we need to get people educated on the issue. I'd like to finish with a moment of silence for all the poor, lame little flames out there who never really had a chance... XxXxXxXxXxX A Naruto story background I thought up but couldn't come up with an actual story. So I'm making it a challenge to be accepted by anyone. Background; The exact date is irrelevant but I imagine that between the first and second shinobi war and mostly as the second war was raging, there would be more orphans in the Hidden Leaf village than it could care for. Not the clan children, but the civilian ones. So the Hokage, council, elders and clan heads came up with an idea to deal with them; make them shinobi and train them especially in deceit or wide range defense to confuse or hinder enemies that would put the main team at risk of failing the mission. In order to make the orphans believe their role was noble the council call them "Fire's Shields"; The ones who protect the fire nation and Konoha. Three jounin were given the mission to train the orphaned genin, but rather than give those children a personell file they were put on a list from where their name would be striked off after death. Only one of the jounin survived for an extended period of time, and one of his genin was a kunouchi of the Sandaime's year. The surviving jounin gained a reputation only in the surrounding nations and not in Konoha, because every time the mission was at risk the main team would leave him behind to deal with the enemy so no ally save for his students knew the extent of his prowess. The same with his one surviving student (I've named her Dawn, but it's changeable). She and Sarutobi always resented each other, and because of it Sarutobi never spent much thought on her and was happy to let the shield system survive since it saved him the trouble of having to deal with Dawn. So Dawn was given team after team of orphaned civilian children dreaming of becoming important to the village as Fire's Shields. She trained them in the art of confusion and defense and inevitably sent them to their deaths, their names only ever getting nicked off a list to be forgotten by the rest of the world, so she made a special graveyeard for them to respect their dreams and lives. Finally, as the tension was starting to grow and a thrid shinobi war was at the door, Dawn snapped and killed her own genin team. Thus she finally got the attention of the rest of Konoha and Sarutobi and a fight ensued, one where the Konoha shinobi came face to face with the one their enemies knew well as "The Shieldmaid". In sort; a one man army who had survived alone against hordes of enemies the elite jounin and ANBU wouldn't have been able to take on as teams (PM me for details on Dawn's abilities). Once the dust settled, Sarutobi agreed that Dawn would not get any more genin teams. The concil however fought the decision, saying the shield system has saved too many important shinobis' lives and just as many important missions. They were also reluctant to compromise and keep only Dawn as a shiled because she's getting old (same age as Sarutobi). They were forced to compromise anyway because there weren't enough orphans in the academy and Sarutobi put all his power into securing the orphans in the orphanage wouldn't be taken against their will, something Dawn assisted in. In the end however, Dawn was given her last genin team due to a slip, since the system thanks to the concil was still active, and she became Umino Iruka's jounin sensei. The only reason she didn't kill the team herself this time was because Sarutobi made sure all three were registered and got proper personell files and were not on the "Fire's Shields" list. So Dawn trained the team, made them chuunin and retired, leaving the village with Sarutobi's consent. I challenge you; write a story about Iruka with Dawna as his sensei, during his genin years or years later. Story updating stats: On top of the World; Grand Line is Paradise has just updated.
